 WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

Toni Greatrex, MD, Presenter        George Fishman, MD, Discussant

 Recent work in the neurophysiology of development correlates with Fonagy’s developmental model of emotion and cognition.  He and his colleagues suggest that mentalized affectivity, by which they mean the mature capacity for regulation of one’s own feelings and the capacity to discover the subjective meaning of states of one’s own feelings, lies at the heart of treatment.  This complex capacity, which includes the ability for appreciating similarity and difference between self and other, as well as agency and self-awareness, is embodied in mature love.  The hypothesis is that these changes represent not just maturing psychological capacities but have neurophysiological correlates.

 Suggested reading: Fonagy, P., Gergely, G., Jurist, E. and Target, M. Affect Regulation, Mentalization and the Development of the Self. pp. 1-20.
